sidewall of the tire. DO NOT MOUNT ZP TIRES WITH THE SH-M
DESIGNATION ON STANDARD WHEELS. IN SUCH APPLICATIONS,
THE TIRES MAY BECOME UNSERVICEABLE AT LOW OR ZERO
PRESSURE, CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
SPECIAL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MICHELIN® TRX™
TIRES
The MICHELIN® TRX™ tire is a tubeless tire that must only be mounted
on special wheels (TR or JM type) with millimetric seat diameter. If TRX
tires are mounted on standard wheels, they will not retain air due to an
air escape feature designed into the bead area of these tires.
Do not try to override this feature by mounting TRX tires with tubes.
The MICHELIN® TRX tire must be used on all wheel positions.
TEMPORARY TYPE SPARE TIRES
When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure to follow the vehicle
manufacturer ’s instructions.
READING THE DOT
DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (prior to August 2000)
DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (1990-1999)
DOT XXXX XXXX XXXX (after July 2000)
THE DOT
The “DOT” symbol certifies tire manufacturer ’s compliance with U.S.
Department of Transportation tire safety standards. Next to the symbol is
the tire identification or “serial number”. The first two characters identify
the plant where the tire was manufactured. The next two characters
reflect the tire size. The following one to four digits may be used at the
tire manufacturer ’s option as a descriptive code. The last three characters
are numbers identifying the week and year of manufacture. (Example:
“O25” means second week of the year of decade, eg.: 1995, 1985, etc.) For
the 1990-1999 decade MICHELIN® brand tires are marked with a triangle
pointing to the last three numeric characters. Tires produced after July
2000 have an additional digit to identify a given decade. For example,
2800 means the tire was produced during the 28th week of 2000; 0201
during the 2nd week of 2001. If the last digits of your DOT number
contains three numeric characters and is not marked with a triangle,
consult a qualified tire technician to determine the year of manufacture.

SERVICE LIFE FOR PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES INCLUDING SPARE TIRES
The following recommendation applies to passenger car and light truck
tires. Tires are composed of various types of material and rubber
compounds, having performance properties essential to the proper
functioning of the tire itself. These component properties evolve over
time. For each tire, this evolution depends upon many factors such as
weather, storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation
pressure, maintenance etc.) to which the tire is subjected throughout its
life. This service-related evolution varies widely so that accurately
predicting the serviceable life of any specific tire in advance is not
possible.
That is why, in addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure
maintenance by consumers, it is recommended to have passenger car and
light truck tires, including spare tires, inspected regularly by a qualified
tire specialist, such as a tire dealer, who will assess the tire’s suitability for
continued service. Tires which have been in use for 5 years or more
should continue to be inspected by a specialist at least annually. Con-
sumers are strongly encouraged to be aware not only of their tires’ visual
condition and inflation pressure but also of any change in dynamic
performance such as increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be
an indication that the tires need to be removed from service to prevent
tire failure. It is impossible to predict when tires should be replaced based
on their calendar age alone. However the older a tire the greater the
chance that it will need to be replaced due to the service-related evolution
or other conditions found upon inspection or detected during use.
While most tires will need replacement before they achieve 10 years, it is
recommended that any tires in service 10 years or more from the date of
manufacture, including spare tires, be replaced with new tires as a simple
precaution even if such tires appear serviceable and even if they have not
reached the legal wear limit. For tires that were on an original equipment
vehicle (i.e., acquired by the consumer on a new vehicle), follow the
vehicle manufacturer ’s tire replacement recommendations, when speci-
fied (but not to exceed 10 years).
The date when a tire was manufactured is located on the sidewall of each
tire. Consumers should locate the Department of Transportation or DOT
code on the tire which begins with DOT and ends with the week and year
of manufacture. For example, a DOT code ending with “2204” indicates
a tire made in the 22nd week (May) of 2004.

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Tire failure can result in serious damage and/or personal injury. To
reduce the risk of tire failure we recommend the following:
•Maintain proper inflation pressure and do not use at under inflation or
over inflation. Pressure should be set at the level recommended by
vehicle manufacturer.
•Wheel alignment and balancing should be checked at regular intervals.
•Do not overload. The maximum load carrying capacity is molded on
the sidewall of the tire.
•Do not spin your tires excessively and avoid driving over curbs,
potholes, obstacles and edges of pavement.
•Never drive on smooth (bald) tires. By law, tires must be replaced
when 2/32of tread depth remained, as indicated by tread wear
indicator molded in the tread grooves.
•Check your tires frequently for any scrapes, cuts, foreign objects,
separations or bulges. If damage is found, do not attempt to dismount
a tire yourself. Change damaged tire with the spare and contact your
local authorized NEXEN TIRE dealer immediately.
•Do not drive in excess of speed limits allowed by law or the maximum
speed justified by driving conditions.
•To achieve proper even wear and gain maximum tread life, tire
rotation at regular intervals is required.

Road Hazard Policy For Run Flat Tires Only
Pirelli Run Flat tires are manufactured with technology that allows
limited low-inflation operation in the event of sudden loss of pressure.
Pirelli does not recommend the repair of run flat tires and as a result,
Pirelli provides road hazard coverage on all Pirelli produced tires that are
manufactured with run flat technology. To qualify for Run Flat Road
Hazard coverage, a completed claim form along with the tire exhibiting
the road hazard must be returned to Pirelli through an authorized Pirelli
dealer.
If a Run Flat tire becomes unserviceable due to workmanship or materials
anomalies or road hazard injury during the initial warranty period,
which is one year from the date of original retail purchase of the vehicle
or purchase of replacement tires (purchase receipt required) or within the
first 2/32” of the original usable tread, whichever occurs first, the tire will
be replaced with the same or comparable tire at no charge for the tire to
the owner. After the initial warranty period, if a Run Flat tire becomes
unserviceable due to workmanship or materials anomalies or road
hazard injury, the owner must pay the cost of a comparable new Pirelli
brand or PTI private brand replacement tire on a pro-rata basis. The
authorized Pirelli dealer will determine the cost by multiplying the
percentage of the original usable tread worn by the current dealer selling
price. The owner must pay for any associated service charges, including
costs associated with mounting and balancing of the tire. This Road
Hazard Policy is not a warranty. PTI does not warranty that a Pirelli tire
will not fail due to road hazard and does not authorize any person,
including authorized Pirelli dealers, to make such a warranty.

2. Tire Categories
ALL SEASON TIRES (ALL WEATHER TIRES): Tires that are designed to
perform in a variety of road conditions in all seasons of the year. An all
season tire will carry “M+S”, “M&S”, or “M/S” designation on the
sidewall. All Season tires may carry a Limited Treadwear Warranty
depending on line.
SUMMER TIRES ( MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, HIGH PERFOR-
MANCE, ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE): Summer Performance tires
offer superior handling, grip and cornering ability compared to standard
tires. They are rated for operation at higher speeds. Maximum Perfor-
mance, High Performance and Ultra High Performance categories each
have different performance characteristics, UTQG ratings and rate of
wear depending on line. Some lines may carry a limited treadwear
warranty.
WINTER TIRES (SNOW TIRES): A winter tire is a tire with a tread design
and compound made specifically for snowy and icy conditions and is
identified by M&S, M+S or M/S markings on the sidewalls. Tires
designed for use in severe snow conditions are further identified with a
pictograph of a mountain with a snowflake on the sidewalls and must
meet specific snow performance test requirements. Pirelli Winter tires do
not carry a mileage warranty.
The information provided above is an overview of tire types. Tread
patterns and rubber compounds vary among the seasonal tire types and
provide varying performance characteristics and limitations based on
your individual needs and vehicle specifications. Summer performance
tires are different than winter and all season types. To determine which
Pirelli lines carry a Limited Treadwear Warranty, please refer to The PTI
Treadwear Mileage Warranty Conditions and Mileage Warranty sections
found in this document.
3. Pressure Recommendations
Recommended tire inflation pressures for your vehicle can be found
either on your vehicle’s tire placard or in your vehicle owner ’s manual.
Correct pressures are related to load, speed and vehicle handling and are
vital for even braking, maximum traction and good tire life. Under no
circumstances should your tire’s cold inflation pressure be less than that
indicated on your vehicle’s tire placard or in your vehicle owner ’s
manual or higher than the maximum cold inflation pressure molded on
